Shoemaker Collision and Paint Center, LLC

Shoemaker Collision and Paint Center is a collision and body shop based in Spring Hill, Kansas. You bring the RV to its shop rather than the other way around, and the facility is built to handle rigs on site: "Our on-site RV repair shop can perform all the work in-house, meaning that it'll take less time for you to get back on the road."

It works on motor homes, fifth wheels, mobile homes, travel trailers, truck campers and camper wagons, covering body work, hail damage repair, fiberglass repair and restoration, window and windshield glass repair and replacement, window tinting, headlight restoration, awning replacement, and a wash and detail that comes with every repair job. Paint matching runs through its in-house Spies Hecker color system. It serves a nine-county area spanning Anderson, Franklin, Miami, Douglas, Johnson, Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties in Kansas, and Jackson and Cass counties in Missouri.

Estimates on RV repair work are free, and all repair work carries a lifetime warranty, meaning you aren't guessing what a dent or a cracked window will cost before you commit, and you aren't on the hook again if the work doesn't hold. No hourly rate or diagnostic fee is published, so ask about pricing specifics when you call. Hours run Monday through Friday, 7:30am to 5:30pm, with the phone answered 24/7 and weekend appointments available. Joe Shoemaker opened the shop with his wife Jennifer in 2013, and Mike Miller, their recreational specialist, handles restoration on RVs and other large vehicles.

This is a good fit for an RV owner near Kansas City who needs body, glass or hail damage repair and wants a shop that treats RV work as a regular part of the business, not an afterthought.
